Simple Glam Makeup for Raksha Bandhan

Celebrating the beautiful bond between siblings, this day is all about putting those endless sibling squabbles on hold—if only for a little while—and coming together as a family. While it’s a cozy and intimate celebration, that doesn’t mean you can’t dress up and add a touch of glam. So, let us help you create an effortlessly glam look that’s perfect for Rakhi.

Who, What, Wear?   

For an intimate family celebration, a simple and traditional outfit is the way to go. After all, once the rituals are done, you’ll likely need to be ready to chase your brother around for those gifts.

Bright or pastel-colored kurta sets, flowy palazzos, or ethnic co-ord sets are perfect choices to keep you stylish and comfy.

Keep It Simple Glam   

To compliment your elegant outfit, consider wearing a simple glam Raksha Bandhan makeup look. The focus will be on your eyes, cheeks and lips. Let's look at how can you create this look:

For subtle Raksha Bandhan makeup, go soft and minimal on the eyes. Start with the Lakmé Ultimate Glam palette in Sunkissed and use neutral brown shade for the lids. Add a touch of gold shimmer to the center of your eyelids and blend lightly for a soft halo effect. Draw a precise line with the Lakmé 9 To 5 Eyeconic Liquid Eyeliner and finish with a coat of Lakmé Absolute 3D Lash Volumizer.

For the lips, balance the minimal eye look with a soft pink or nude toned lipstick from the Lakmé Rouge Bloom Powder Matte Bullet range.

For your face, keep it light and radiant. Add a soft flush with Lakmé Showstopper Collection Rouge Bloom Powder Blush in Vitage Rose. Highlight the high points on your face with the Lakmé Facelift MultiSlayer Highlighter Stick in Sunlit Sepia.

And just like that, you’re Rakhi-ready with a minimal yet glowing makeup.

FAQs

Q:1 Which makeup is best for saree look?

A. The perfect makeup look to complement your saree depends on its color palette. For lighter-hued sarees, opt for a soft glam look featuring nude and peach tones. In contrast, if your saree boasts deeper, richer colors, elevate your look with bold, deep-toned makeup shades like reds and browns.

Q:2 Is glowy makeup attractive? 

A. Glowy makeup is attractive because it evokes a sense of health, vitality, and inner radiance. A subtle, lit-from-within glow can make the skin look smoother and even-toned. This type of makeup enhances one's natural features without looking too done up.

Q:3 Which lipstick is best for saree?

A. Pair your saree with a lip color that complements its color. Deep-toned sarees call for a bold red lip, while neutral tones are elevated by soft nudes or pinks.
